An endoscopic vein harvest allows a portion of vein from the inside of the leg to be removed through small incisions. This reduces the length of the incision by several inches. An endoscope, or video camera, is used to view the vein and remove the needed length. Possible benefits of this procedure include decreased pain, fewer wound healing problems, minimal scarring and quicker recovery time.
